01 / THE BRAND
What it’s all about.
AutoCamp combines outdoor travel with hotel style support. Depending on location, accommodations include Airstreams, cabins and tents. The key choice is the actual accommodation type: its bathroom, sleeping arrangement and weather protection can change the experience considerably.
Airstream and cabin accommodations at selected sites
Adventure Tents at selected locations
Clubhouses, activities and outdoor gathering spaces
02 / WHAT IT COSTS
Nightly rate + location specific fees
Rates vary by destination, accommodation and dates. The official Cape Cod arrival page lists a $35 nightly amenity fee; two nights add $70 before any fee tax. Other locations set their own conditions. Add park admission, transportation and meals to your budget.
Prices in US dollars unless stated otherwise. Starting prices and historical examples are not live offers. Select your dates, guest ages and travel product, then compare the final total and cancellation terms.

04 / BEFORE YOU BOOK
The details that
make a difference.

Confirm sleeping capacity for every adult and child

Do not assume an onsite pool or the same facilities at every location
- 03
Staying nearby does not replace a national park entry reservation
05 / THE SHOPFEST VERDICT
Is it worth your trip?
A good bridge between hotels and camping, especially for a first outdoor trip. For young children or cold weather, prioritize a private bathroom and sleeping layout over the most photogenic category.
